The URL is simple - the query string would be like that for a set of
grouped checkboxes on a form:

...mycgi?qstring=27001&qstring=27003&qstring=...

I don't, however, know how the front-end of Mapserver is put together or
whether it can handle multiple entries.  If it can't, you could do
something with Mapscript - I believe that the Perl CGI module creates an
array for multiple instances of a field name.
